Found Tunes: Forked Ear
http://foundtunes.blogspot.com/2009/12/forked-ear.html
Monday, December 7, 2009. This tune is a variation of the well known old time tune, Forked Deer. We got it from a fellow down at the Centralia Parlor Pickers. It comes from a collection of tunes that was in the Library of Congress and called "A Collection of Violin Tunes Popular During the Early 1800's, by A. Porter Hamblen." For the whole story, you can look at these websites: The Hamblen Collection, by Porter Hamblen. And another page called, Hamblen Family Music. S:As Played by Williamson Hamblen.

Stink blah blah stink. Month: August, 2012. August 6, 2012. Marion Thede and old time fiddle. One of the first tune books I got in the early 70’s was Marion Thede’s book “the Fiddle Book”, it really influenced my take on old time music. She was a music teacher who ended up in Oklahoma in the late 20’s, she was a classical violinist who suddenly found herself surrounded by fiddlers who opened to her a whole new way to approach music, like playing by ear, using different tunings etc. Another observation by...

My First Banjo | Banjo Confessions
https://billboyer.wordpress.com/2010/06/14/my-first-banjo
Stink blah blah stink. My First banjo…built in 3dsMax from my memory. Here is my take on Frank Proffitt. Https:/ billboyer.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/sourwood-mtn.mp3. It was in Cleveland, 1970. My first wife, Diane, and I were cruising the junk shops, when I came across an interesting old instrument in pieces, with what looked liked a porthole from a ship holding a skin head. Mine did not have the hindge. So now I had a banjo, but I knew nothing about the banjo or the music, yes I had seen Pete Seeger.
